The son of heaven values ​​heroes, and articles teach you; everything is inferior, but reading is high.

On the day of the imperial examination, how many Gongsheng students have ambitions and fists, and they have studied hard for ten years, and what they are waiting for is this day, hoping to win the first place in one fell swoop.

At dawn, Guo Chan led the Imperial Army directly into the examination room, stunned all the examiners, and directly detained the Minister of Rites and several examiners according to Sima Yi's order.At this time, Huo Rufeng was leading someone to copy the Ministry of Rites to the Minister's Office.

Minister of the Ministry of Rites was shocked to see himself being detained by the Imperial Forest Army, and said angrily: "Princess, you have to give me an explanation, even if you are the princess, you can't directly detain me!"

Guo Chan looked at the Minister of Rites coldly, he may not know that his own death has come.

"That's why!"

Guo Chan took out the gold medal given to her by Sima Yi, and seeing the gold medal as if the emperor had come in person, everyone knelt down and shouted long live.

"How, are you convicted?" Guo Chan stared at the Minister of Rites. She already had evidence that he secretly peddled the exam questions, and she was waiting to release it when the time came.

Minister of the Ministry of Rites has been an official for many years, Qihui was frightened by Guo Chan's few words, and still said confidently: "I am not guilty! Princess Danyang, you are slandering!"

"Hmph, His Majesty has the final say on whether he is guilty or not." The imperial examination was still going on, and Guo Chan was too lazy to deal with him, so she directly ordered the Imperial Forest Army to take a few people down for custody.

Guo Chan looked at the rest of the people present, and said loudly: "Your Majesty has ordered that the Minister of the Ministry of Rites sell the imperial examination questions without authorization, disturbing the rules and regulations, and immediately put them in prison, and release them after the imperial examination."

The Imperial Forest Army was the emperor's pro-army, and Guo Chan held the imperial gold medal in his hand, so the rest of the Ministry of Rites naturally did not dare to resist, and followed Guo Chan's arrangement one after another.

At this time, an old man with gray hair stood up, his legs and feet were weak due to his old age, and he walked a little tremblingly.Guo Chan hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and then winked at the people on the side, and soon someone understood and lifted a chair.

"Scholar Xu, sit down first."

The old man smiled and did not refuse.

"Master Xie, please forgive me." After all, I was getting old, and I felt severe pain in my knees after kneeling for a while.

"You're welcome. Today's urgent matter has surprised you." Master Xu's full name is Xu Lin. He was a person who assisted the emperors of three dynasties. .

"The imperial examination is of great importance, and it involves the leakage of the examination questions. Naturally, it is extremely important. However, it is only an hour before the imperial examination starts, and the examination questions have already been leaked. What should I do, but postpone the imperial examination?" Xu Lin expressed concern. The imperial examination has a great impact. If Some people know in advance that the question is unfair to others, but it is too late to ask the question temporarily.

Guo Chan took out the test questions, which she and Sima Yi spent a few days working out together.

Xu Lin showed doubts, "This is?"

"This is a topic that the emperor personally asked." Guo Chan only mentioned Sima Yi. After all, the matter is of great importance. If she encounters a sour person, she will definitely refute her. One thing more is worse than one thing less.

Xu Lin took it over and looked at it. The topic is meticulous and more focused on current affairs, which is novel, but it must be more able to discover talents in this way.And presumably those who bribed the examiners privately, their spring and autumn dreams are bound to come to nothing.

"That's good, the old man will let people prepare."

Guo Chan nodded and sent a few imperial guards to follow.

Seeing this, Xu Lin gave Guo Chan a meaningful look, and Guo Chan looked up at the roof, being cautious.

When everything was ready, Guo Chan slipped outside the examination room and stood under a willow tree. At this time, the Gongsheng students were preparing to enter the examination room, and some were saying goodbye to their families. The nine-day imperial examination was no small test for anyone. .

"The princess!"

Guo Chan didn't expect to meet acquaintances here, turned around and saw that it was Ren Yuanlin, and beside him was Ren Yuanbai, presumably it was Ren Yuanlin who sent Ren Yuanbai into the examination room.

Today, in order to convince those people and also for convenience, Guo Chan is wearing unisex unisex loose clothes, her hair is tied up like a man's, but because of her slender figure and beautiful appearance, she will never be regarded as a man.

This is the first time Ren Yuanbai sees Guo Chan. He always hears that Guo Chan is nothing but unparalleled beauty. Ren Yuanbai has seen many ladies in Beijing, all of whom are gentle and pleasant, and follow the rules. He has never seen Guo Chan outside like this. Show up in public, dress up nondescript.That's why Ren Yuanbai's expression was cold and his tone was even colder when he saw the ceremony, which almost made Ren Yuan's heart jump out.

Guo Chan naturally saw Ren Yuanbai's dislike for her, and was not surprised at all when he thought of his character.

Knowing his eldest brother's temperament, Ren Yuanlin was afraid that he would offend Guo Chan by saying something unpleasant, so he said, "Brother, I think it's almost time, you should hurry into the examination room."

Ren Yuanbai nodded, and said to Ren Yuanlin: "I'll go in right away, you remember to study at home in peace these few days, don't always run out."

Ren Yuanbai sounded like he was lecturing himself, Ren Yuanlin felt ashamed and urged Ren Yuanbai to enter the examination room quickly.

After finally waiting for the person to leave, Ren Yuanlin scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Princess, why are you here, but someone you know is also taking the imperial examination today?"

Guo Chan shook her head, not intending to tell Ren Yuanlin.

Ren Yuanlin was not familiar with Guo Chan, but seeing Guo Chan here alone, thinking of the assassination last time, he felt that it would be better for him to stay with Guo Chan.

Under the willow tree, the two watched those tribute students step into the examination room. Some of them could pass the exam after nine days, while others failed in frustration.

Suddenly thought of something, Ren Yuanlin said: "I went to see the second sister yesterday, and she recovered from her injury very well, thank you princess for taking care of the second sister."

Guo Chan was ashamed when she heard the words, Ren Suyi was injured in order to save herself, she should take care of others.

"You really care about Ren Suyi." Ever since Ren Suyi was injured, the person in the Ren family who cared most about Ren Suyi was Ren Yuanlin, who often came to greet him.

"That's natural. I don't want to hide it from the princess. I secretly went out to do business without telling the people in the mansion. Only the second sister trusted me, supported me, and returned my principal." Ren Yuanlin was still moved when he talked about this matter.

Thinking of Ren Yuanbai and Ren Yuanlin, they really have very different personalities.Guo Chan couldn't help but said, "Aren't you afraid that your lord will be angry if you insist on doing business?"

People in the world value officials and lowly merchants, especially Ren Rong, whose aspiration is never to be a minister of Guanglu Temple, and he never wants his son to be known as a businessman in the future.

Ren Yuanlin sighed, and said puzzledly: "I don't like reading, even if I take the imperial examination, I can't get a name. If so, do they expect me to be an idler all day long, and don't want me to make a name for myself? "

Guo Chan finally saw a reliable Ren family member besides Ren Suyi, and showed appreciation. In fact, there is no distinction between high and low in this world.The world is difficult, many people are displaced and unable to eat a bite, so why not start a business with your own ability.

"Your sister is right about you." Guo Chan smiled, and said to Ren Yuanlin after thinking about it: "In fact, there is a way to not be looked down upon in business."

"What method?" Ren Yuanlin looked at Guo Chan in surprise.

Guo Chan said: "If you can become an imperial merchant, will anyone still look down on you?"

"Imperial Merchant?" Ren Yuanlin never dreamed of becoming an Imperial Merchant, after all, not everyone can be that, he just wants to be able to have enough food and clothing in the future.

"I know it's not easy, but hard work pays off, who says it's impossible?" Guo Chan encouraged Ren Yuanlin, the rest of the Ren family might not be able to be Ren Suyi's backing, this Ren Yuanlin seems to be reliable He also cares more about Ren Suyi, if he can become a talent in the future, Ren Suyi will also be pleased.

Ren Yuanlin couldn't help fantasizing about the day he became an imperial merchant in his heart.From this day on, Ren Yuanlin has a dream in his heart that he has never mentioned to anyone, and he has been working hard for this dream.

After a long while, Ren Yuanlin sighed: "No wonder the second sister likes to associate with you, princess, you are really a very good person."

Guo Chan was stunned for a moment, but liked this word again.Like and Ren Suyi...

"Princess, you don't know. The last time I went to the second sister's study, there were a lot of your strategies and opinions. That's when I realized that your literary talent is so good, and it's not as good as these tribute students." Ren Yuanlin After the previous conversation He automatically listed Guo Chan as one of his own, and he felt a lot more comfortable talking.

The more Guo Chan heard it, the more she felt that Ren Yuanlin was actually a bit stupid, but he knew that Ren Suyi's study had a lot of strategies and theories written by herself, and those were all written by her. I don't know where Ren Suyi got them.

The Gong students have all entered the examination room, and some family members are still waiting outside reluctantly.

Guo Chan suddenly asked: "What kind of person do you think your second sister is?"

Ren Yuanlin didn't understand why Guo Chan asked this, the second sister saved the princess with her life, doesn't it mean that she still doesn't know the princess?But thinking that the eldest princess is a nobleman of the royal family and Princess Danyang is favored by the emperor, if they can take care of Ren Suyi a little bit in the future, it will be of great help to Ren Suyi, so she said slowly: "Second sister, she is gentle and gentle. She is kind and considerate. She looks no different from other daughters of everyone. What is rare is that she is very smart and has a good heart. She has been better than my elder brother and me in reading since she was a child, and she does her homework very well. , The second sister suddenly stopped going to school, and concentrated on learning embroidery and so on. Let me tell you. It’s better to let the second sister take the imperial examination, maybe it’s better than the eldest brother.”

Ren Yuanlin also knew that what he said was just talk, and there was no precedent for women to participate in the imperial examination in my dynasty.However, seeing that Guo Chan listened to him carefully, and didn't mean to be a joke, Ren Yuanlin boldly continued: "Actually, I don't think it's okay for a woman to become an official. It all depends on her own ability. But the second sister has been taught by her mother since she was a child." It is rare to see her reading other books. Princess, I know that you have a good relationship with Second Sister, but you don’t know that my Second Sister...has a difficult life in the mansion. My mother...doesn’t like Second Sister very much. In the past, I advised my second sister to get closer to my mother. The second sister always said that I knew it, but I knew that she would not go. The second sister is gentle on the surface, but she is an extremely stubborn person in her heart. What she believes will not be easily changed. But she doesn't seem to care, but I know that the second sister is still suffering. As for my mother..."

After all, she is his own mother, Ren Yuanlin is a little embarrassed to talk about right and wrong, and at the same time feels ashamed of He's actions.

"My mother is very eccentric and treats me and my eldest brother very well. When I was young, I thought that my mother favored men and daughters. Later, I saw that my mother was also very kind to the fourth sister. I realized that my mother just didn't like the second sister and always treated her. indifferent."

Guo Chan frowned when she heard this, from the fact that Mrs. He personally poisoned Ren Suyi in order to let Ren Suyao enter the palace instead of Ren Suyi last time, it can be seen that Mrs. He has no heart for Ren Suyi.

"Do you know why, could it be that Ren Suyi was not born by your mother?" It's not that Guo Chan's idea is absurd, if it is her own, why is she so cold.

Ren Yuanlin's eyes widened when he heard this, he hurriedly waved his hands, and explained: "Why, I heard from the mother in the mansion that my mother had a difficult labor when she was pregnant with her second sister, and it took her a whole day and a night to get her second sister. The one born by my sister will definitely not be my mother's child."

Guo Chan raised her eyebrows, "Then can you explain why your mother doesn't like Ren Suyi?"

Ren Yuanlin shook his head.In fact, he has always been puzzled about this matter in his heart, but he really has no way of knowing about the elders.

"That's it, maybe Ren Suyi wasn't your mother's birth." Guo Chan thought to herself, it's better if it's not her own.

Ren Yuanlin couldn't say anything to refute.
